Hello all,
I was wondering if there are any descendents of James Henry
Calvert out there. He was from Spartanburg, S.C.. He married my
g.g.grandmother, Isabella Jane McDowell White after the War for Southern
Independence was over (my g.g.grandfather John Warren White killed in War),
and migrated to Texas, living with his wife and family in Gainsville, Cooke
Co., Tex until his wife, my g.g.grandmother, died and then he remarried and
moved to I think Hale County. His kids and my great grandfather William
Henry White (half siblings) used to correspond. I have read some of the old
letters. I was just curious as to what became of he and his children. Below
is an excerpt from my White file pertaining to him. If I have posted this
before then forgive my forgetting it:
---------------------
2nd Husband of Isabell Jane McDowell: James Henry Calvert, from Spartburg,
S.C., also served in Holcomb's Legion during the War for Southern
Independence, C.S.A.
issue: From letter dated 1939 from mary Gentry Knight:
1. James Jasper Calvert, b. in 1872 in Upshur Co., Texas.
2. Isabella Jane McDowell Calvert, b. 1874 in Cooke Co., Tex.
3. Nannie F. Calvert, Plainview, Texas.
4. Daughter
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Below are some Census reports showing them and their children, including
J.H. Calvert's 2nd wife, etc. Note that the 1870 one showing them still in
S.C. must be because they still owned that farm, even though they had moved
to Texas. After Isabella Jane's death in 1874 Wm. Henry White went back to
S.C. to settle her estate.

Didn't find them on the 1920 Census, he may have died and Sidney Nell may
have
married again, I don't know.
